Can anyone point me to any studies showing stats and strategies on which position players are better to start at flex? Over the course of the season, I built a decent deep team with a couple of studs. The issue now is that I have a hard time deciding who to start as my flex. We start 2WRs and 2RBs with either position also eligible at Flex.
The players I have at WR3 and RB3 are fortunately putting up WR2 and RB2 numbers. In my opinion, my starters should play regardless of matchup while my flex should be someone I can rely on to get x number of points and swap them out as necessary. I'm just not sure which position is safer to start at Flex. I'd most likely start a RB over a WR with similar matchups, but do you start a RB with a bad matchup over a WR with a good matchup because RBs are more consistent at scoring regardless of who they play? Does that make a difference?
My gut feeling is that RBs put up more consistent numbers than WRs since they usually get more oppoprtunities and don't have to rely on QBs to get the the ball.
I don't want to turn this into a 'Who do I start thread', but as an example (you can use other players as your examples), I am having a difficult time deciding between Forte, R Bush, P Thomas, Maclin, Holmes, and L Moore.
So who do you go with assuming everyone is healthy, a RB because he's a RB or a WR because of his matchup?
